It was a co-operative design. Means, the editor had some ideas (even many more, but FOX was against a few), but he just threw me lines like an acid gun, shock collars for warriors, Egg incubator and Xeno parts refurbished as armor or protection (like AVP skull shield). I did quick concepts and cos of time pressure (crazy one), I actually built everything in 3D instantly from scratch.
Well, the Xeno parts I took from the existing meshes and touched them up to fit the need, the Fetus was done quickly new and the egg grabbing was a few nights of model marathon.
The gun idea was entirely realized by my super soaker inspiration.
The electro shockers on the warriors I cam up with, cos I hat the collar idea, as I think they make the ALIENS look like dogs and there are these stupid concepts out with the red dog collar on an Warrior (A:CM game as well. puke).
And that was exactly three years ago now
